Patient sitting in an ancient wheelchair in my office, looking very uncomfortable.
(Me) Are you in pain?(Pt) Yes.
(Me) Does your bottom hurt?
(Pt) Yes.
(Me) Is there anything I can to do make you more comfortable?
(Pt) You could rub it.
Patient just admitted to our unit. Another patient, down the hall, is screaming.
(Me) Mrs. H, You're in the hospital. Remember, you had surgery.
--Blank stare from the patient, who looks very scared.
(Pt) Am I on the maternity ward?
